  • Network bridge
    Patent number: 7660935
    Abstract: A network bridge with a configuration and control unit. The unit is connected to some or all of the functional components of the network bridge via interfaces. The unit may poll and evaluate data within the functional components, including operating data and/or parameters. The unit may manipulate the data and/or parameters within the functional components, based on the evaluation of that data.
